XMLTV troubleshooting
A partial schedule date cannot identify a TV slot
A date-only value cannot establish the minute of a scheduled event in this check.
A date-only value cannot establish the minute of a scheduled event in this check.
Reproduce the condition
The XMLTV sample below is a small synthetic file. It carries no active media source or account data.
<tv>
<channel id="news.example"><display-name>Example News</display-name></channel>
<programme start="20250715" stop="20250715190000 +0000" channel="news.example"><title>Evening test</title></programme>
</tv>What the local check found
| Expected signal | Observed signal |
|---|---|
| Start needs a full valid date and numeric offset for this check | Start needs a full valid date and numeric offset for this check |
What to do next
Use the full recorded programme date, local time and offset for an exact lookup. Keep date-only metadata separate from timed slots.
What to share if the problem continues
- The exact parser result and version of the importer or player.
- A minimal redacted sample with dates, IDs or segment names retained as needed.
- The output after checking the source export separately from the viewer app.
